Day Two. Switched lenses for the outing. The indirect sunlight of just before sun down made getting the exposure level right more difficult. Turns out the longer length lens is actually better for macro shots than the shorter length lens. Thought it would have been the other way around, but nope. With the zoom lens, I can get closer to things without having to be right on top of them. Other than looking like less of a dork by being farther away from the subject, it also significantly reduces the chance that my shadow takes a prominent role in the shot.
